  Eng 13 was NOT on Columbus drive untill that Station was built in the early 80’s. I’ll get back with the original firehouse address when I can get my list.

  I am trying to find a picture of Engine 13 in 1903. Was the building located at 259 N. Columbus then? Thank you.

  Bill,
  Have need of your CFD knowledge. I bought some old Chicago photos last year at MFFA swap meet. I would like know more about them. We have a new restaurant that just opened “Station 343”. Yes, it is done in fire motif. Some of those pictures are featured. We can do this over a big steak.

  I always enjoy the vintage photos…especially ones with the old Snorkels and the Autocar Squads. Do you happen to have any for sale? I’m looking for some vintage CFD to hang in my CFD-Centric Basement here in Nebraska.
